The power of metaphors is an ability to release the mind from the known.

To see the universe in a grain of sand And heaven in a wildflower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand And eternity in an hour.

William Blake

To see the universe in a grain of sand

And heaven in a wildflower,

Hold infinity in the palm of your hand

Fission

And eternity in an hour.

Alexander Von Humboldt's Kosmos

Humboldt traveled to South America, in the 1790s.	He wrote about the whole world in a series of volumes called Cosmos, codifying knowledge about the entire Earth.
